GM Oversight or Normal Messaging?

[DaCapn]

Saw something unusual while running a guild script for sweep. This was during the footpad reps. I've never seen this before. Could this have been some GM intervention or does this happen?

A clean miss.

Somehow I doubt the guys are supposed to attack you.

[DaCapn]

Yeah, like I said, I've never seen this before. Also, looking at the footpad gives a special description as opposed to the "appears to be in good shape, etc" description given to creatures. The footpad did repeat the action of picking up the sword another time, which was a little interesting. That made it seem less like manual work.

Pretty sure that's normal after a certain number of ranks. That happened to me too on a regular basis after a certain point in my sweep training.

[DaCapn]

Just for the reference of others, it looks like that's rank 45.

totally normal
